Now Oliver – who previously dated Kym Marsh – has had enough of seeing his bride-to-be’s flirty messages with Vernon.

One friend said: “Oliver is away working, so he hasn’t seen Rhian since the ­allegations emerged.

“He was annoyed to find out she had been messaging Vernon – especially as she had kept it secret from him.

“They didn’t speak for the majority of last week as Oliver was ignoring Rhian’s calls. He was angry and had been ­questioning their relationship.

“When he eventually did pick up the phone, they had a huge row and Oliver broke up with her.

“Rhian is still hopeful they can make the relationship work when he comes home.

“She wants them to sit down together and discuss everything face to face, but as far as Oliver is concerned, it is over.”

Oliver, who proposed in 2014, reportedly asked Rhian to let him discuss the situation “man to man” with Vernon ahead of the story breaking. He had wanted to find out exactly what happened between them but Rhian refused to put them in touch.

Tess, 46, has branded the ­allegations “a stitch up” to pals, with a source saying she and Vernon were “determined” not to let the incident damage their family.
